I've sold a ton and bought a ton over the years on CL. I'm reluctant to let people in my house but for amps and guitars, I figured it was sort of necessary. I've bought from other people this way as well. When people come over, I have the gear near the front of my house so they don't go all through my house to get to my guitar room. I should probably consider the guitar center approach but have been careless and lazy and just have them come over. I've been lucky so far but if I were giving advice to myself, I'd say try to meet at a guitar shop or something.
Alternatively, if you had an adapter for your car, you might be able to plug a small amp in and test it somewhere in public.
I have always dealt in cash. For large bills, I got one of these to make sure I wasn't getting fake bills:

I use Ebay to gauge prices. I look only at sold listings in the past few months to see what range the item is actually selling for (including shipping). I look at about the lowest price it has sold for and that's the highest I'll pay for something. It's also about where I start pricing my item. Generally, local sales are less expensive than Ebay. If you want the best money, you sell on Ebay and take the hit with their charges. The net for the seller is about the same, the buyer gets a break buying locally.
If my local market is flooded with the item I'm selling (I had an amp last year and there were 2 others of the exact same model not selling in my local CL), I'll list it on Ebay instead.
That's all my advice. good luck!
